I found nothing about $wgUploadUrl at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Upload_variables Adding the starting slash if not existent was only a quick and dirty workaround, because at first the problem seemed to be a missing slash in the middle of the URL. Maybe no good idea. The Wiki sysop told me he had to set $wgUploadPath="/images" (or "images"?) to get another extension to work. I thought this would cause no problems: Uploads go to the new directory http://robertfant.com/images (or better, one of its subdirectories) and files are retrieved by getURL() from the same place. Seems not to be true. New uploads still go to http://robertfant.com/ProjectWiki/images/<subdir>/subdir>/bdir>/... Why? Just for sake of clarity: What is the difference between $wgUploadPath="/images" and $wgUploadPath="images"? What will the Wiki sysop have to do that uploaded files go to the same place where my extension will retrieve them? Does it help to change both $wgUploadPath and $wgUploadDirectory? How did you know so quickly about the content of $wgUploadPath without access to LocalSettings.php? Maybe there is a Special:XYZ page showing the content of all $wgXYZ variables. --Rudi http://www.formelapplet.de
